Stories From Another Day

A Winter Olympics Swimming Record


Listen Later

Swimming is not usually connected to winter sports, but for one man they were a perfect pairing. In today’s bonus

summer episode we look at the story of John Scott and his record breaking swim across Georgian Bay, and how
it was connected to a very special winter games hosted here in Collingwood.

Where is your favourite local spot to hang out in (or by) the water on those long, hot summer days? We

would love to hear your swimming stories!
